Claudia, I have been known from names as Sleepy back in the 80's. Cosmo in the 90's and 00's. Now for some reason my locals have named me Doc. I have been performing live on one stage or another since 1971. I am an Alto Sax player. I have performed with Wood, Garza, Reid, T-Bone (Black) Austin, TX. 311 Club, Joe Valintine, Elephant Club in the Warehouse District and the Continital Club on Congress downdown. Either Blues, or Some kink of their version of classic rock/ country. Go figure. I'd call it Billy Blues. It's a little different. Chord pros are pretty much the same, but my leads are different than you would exect from a normal sax player. And they are all mine. I have to admit I borrowed a lick or to. I am getting bored being a day by day crane operator. I want the music back in the fold and make some money at it,too. I have the support of my wife. I have no need of a baby sitter. You gotta hear my horn. I reclaimed it from the past. No doubt a great player has played it. You can hear it in the overtones. Mike "Doc" Wilkins

Hello, Mike

I was pleasantly surprised to get your email on this site today! WOW....cooool. We jam every Monday night at " Big Harry's Tavern" on 3630 Ft. Bragg Rd. across the street from the Cadillac Ranch ( formerley the Flaming Mug).
Fayetteville's best come out and we have a ball! Come early...8.30 is perfect to sign up on the list which fills quickly. And I will be hosting the 5th Annual Bohemian Arts and Music festival again on 15 ZNov. at the Pate Room of HQ Library.
Please come out to Harry's on Monday night and we will meet and introduce you to everybody.
Looking forward to you being a part of an ever growing, ever experimenting local music scene.
You can email me also at: Blueslover51@yahoo.com
PEACE
Claudia
